Zooey Deschanel can make me watch anything. She is quirky, cute and no matter what character she plays, she makes you feel like she is the girl next door. In the New Girl, she plays Jess, an elementary school teacher who just broke up with her boyfriend and moves in with three guys. Jess (Zooey) elevates her oddness to a new level. Yet it is more endearing than ever. The four roommates play off each other beautifully, and in just its first season have developed a report obtained only after years of being on the air. The three male leads are an eclectic bunch. Winston (Lamorne Morris) came in the second episode after Damon Wayans Jr's show Happy Endings got picked up and had to leave. At first Lamorne did not fit (even after one episode they had report!) but he found his own niche in the group. Nick (Jake Johnson) could be considered the male lead and his laid back attitude and sarcastic comments are a great contrast to the faster paced Jess. Finally, there is Schmidt (Max Greenfield). He is a ladies man, who has no game, a metrosexual to the nth degree, a womanly man's man. It is hard to describe him and at first can seem rather off putting yet you can't help but love to make fun of him while still hoping he finds his path. New Girl is a bright new show on Fox with so many great moments already in its first season with potential for much more. If you love shows like Friends and Happy Endings, with more of an indie quirkiness and a crush on Zooey Deschanel, this ones for you.
